if you haven't had bruschetta, all you need to know is that it is essentially pizza. this bruschetta is easy to make and really good! if you have any leftovers of the tomato mixture it makes a great salad!
1/2 loaf french bread, cut into 1 inch thick slices
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 roma tomatoes, diced
3 yellow tomatoes, diced
large handful of basil leaves, julienned
1 c. mozzarella, shredded, or to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
preheat oven to 375.
bake the bread in the oven for 4 minutes, just until it begins to get toasted. remove and set aside.
meanwhile, over medium heat, cook the garlic in the olive oil until it becomes fragrant. this should only take a few minutes...don't let the garlic brown!
in a bowl, mix together the tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper.
take your garlic oil mixture and brush it over the slices of toasted bread.
top the toasts with mozzarella and then top each with a bit of the tomato mixture.
bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
